Ever get the feeling that the best parts the city are kept locked away behind closed doors? For one weekend only in September, the public is invited behind the proverbial velvet rope to check out the cultural gems and architectural oddities of St. John’s. Over a dozen locations are participating this year. So why not live out your childhood dreams and check out the Central Fire Station, or scope the sanctified gothic grandeur of the Anglican Cathedral? Or you could discover the almost-certainly-fascinating intricacies of the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility. Or all three!

Entrance to the Doors Open Days locations (including museums) is free from 10am to 4pm. A full list of places to check out the website.
